fataldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hey, haven't posted on these forums since a couple of days after the release of the FM09 demo. And by now you've probably guessed I didn't post because it didn't work and I didn't think it ever would. What I want to know is that if the demo didn't work back then, will the proper game and latest patch work on my computer now? I won't even mind if I don't get the 3D thing, btw how many use it and is it good? Cheers! :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Have you tried installing the demo patch? Could you post your system specs up please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1234566778 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 To your question is it good: I would say it's excellent mate a lot better than previous one in my opinion although I did like FM07 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 What was the problem with the demo I had one and Fixed it now getting game !!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fataldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 FTG I'll download the demo patch this morning and come back and see if it works, if it doesn't then I'll post my specs later :-) Saxonaitor, the problem was it wouldn't open up, kept coming up with an error.

Ediocy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I am not sure if you remember the error message you received when the demo would not launch, but if it is this - “FM.exe application error. The application has failed to initialize correctly (0xC0150002). Click on OK to stop the application”, the solution is the following: Fix: This can be resolved by updating the Microsoft Dot.Net framework, please visit the following URL to download:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en I had experienced this issue myself so hopefully it is this that is hindering your application launch, rather than an incompatible system.

fataldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks Ediocy, does this include the 'Football manager 2009 install directory does not exist. Please install Football Manager 2009 again before installing it.' But if this is the demo then why should I need to install something else first?

Don't think I have seen that error before :confused: When does this come up? After you have installed the demo and tried to run it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ediocy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That would be a totally different issue to the one I was asking about, I am afraid. And as ftg87 pointed out, a rather strange one indeed. How did you get the demo and could you run us by your installation process? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fataldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 FTG- It comes up after I have downloaded it and extracted it to my folders and when I try and open it to presumebly downlaod properly it comes up with that message?

TBH, little confused by what you have said there, what do you mean by "extracted it to my folders and when I try and open it to presumebly downlaod properly"?

fataldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Like I downloaded the atual file, but it still had to be exracted? After I tried to open it after it was extracted it came up with a window and then the error message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fataldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Sorry for double post... Just redownloaded the original demo (first patch) and cannot run due to graphics failure? I take it that means I need a new computer to play this game now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
